Chapter 541 Single-parent families and adolescent dilemmas

"So, was Caroline ever curious about his faith?" Hannah asked.

Ms. Sabatak was silent for a long time, and then she reluctantly answered, "She started asking these questions about a few months ago, but I don't want to discuss that person."

When she said this, she choked up and seemed to have an epiphany, "I asked her to check it out on the Internet, could it be..."

Jack knew that her mood was likely to collapse in the next second, so he quickly signaled Hannah with his eyes to continue questioning.

"So, as far as you know, has she ever had contact with anyone in the Lin community, met in person or communicated through the Internet?"

"I don't know." Ms. Zapatak cried. "I feel like I don't understand my daughter at all now."

Half an hour later, Jack moved a chair and sat opposite Dana Moger in the combat center.

"This is the psychological profile I did. Rebellious teenagers, single-parent families who are curious about certain religions because of their father, lack of supervision, suffer from bullying, long for a sense of identity, and are filled with anger and need an outlet.

All these factors led her to some extreme websites, and she was eventually recruited to become a member of "Dark Jihad" and used to become a suicide attacker. "

"It seems that this is what happened. Although the relevant organizations of Ace Ace did not come out to declare that this was their doing, the NSA (National Security Agency) did find some information in the extremist social networks they were monitoring. Clues.

There were some brief remarks before the attack, and after the attack, there were also some vague references to their 'victory' in New York! "

Jubal said and looked at an NSA liaison officer next to him with a visitor's pass, "Do you have anything else to add from the NSA side?"

"Yes." The haggard-looking elder sister, who had stayed up all night with the analysts, said with red eyes.

"Last year they planned to inject cyanide into cans in some supermarkets in the United States, but they were blocked. It looks like they are making a comeback this time."

In the end, it was natural that the leader should make the summary. Dana Moge pondered for a moment and said, "This plan hits the mark. The food supply chain is an extremely easy target. There are 15,000 restaurants in this city, and there are still less. There are many, but easier to find supermarkets and small grocery stores.

We can't shut them all down, and if there were a second or third attack, the level of panic would be unimaginable. Time is running out, folks. "

It always felt like this sentence was familiar, as if he had heard it many times before. Jack didn't think about it in detail. He stared at the big screen without blinking and his mind was running rapidly.

If he is a keyboard warrior who is not satisfied with venting on the Internet and wants to do something in reality, then as a Shabi teenager, what will he be willing to do?

Thinking of this, he asked Jubal, "How is the IT logistics analysis of that website? No matter how many attacks the other party is preparing to launch, it depends on how many recruits like Caroline they have. Can we follow it?" Are the network cables coming to your door one by one?"

Jubal shrugged, "I can't paraphrase what the nerd computer experts (Nerds) are saying, about anonymous offshore servers, masking IPs through proxies or virtual private networks, etc."

His words made everyone look at each other and smile. Wasn't this retelling quite accurate?

Jubal continued, "According to what they said, it is impossible to hack that website and find out the IP address of the person who logged in, but they are analyzing Caroline's public social accounts to see if they can track down some suspicious messages, and they should have results soon. ”

"There are already results." The Indian guy who had met once before came over holding the laptop that Jack and Hannah brought back that belonged to Caroline.

“I went through all the social accounts of this poor girl, and it seems that she is indeed in a very serious situation of isolation. Most of the messages under the account are negative and aggressive bullying, but this also makes some friendly people The messages are particularly prominent.

<divclass="contentadv">For example, this 'Cloudcover33' looks very friendly. Although her expression is very cryptic, she provides most of the likes on the account. "

"Tell me that you have found out the identity of this 'Cloudcover33'." Dana Moger stood up and approached the laptop screen.

"Yes, Tara Shagas, 15 years old, and guess what, by sheer coincidence, she and Caroline Zapatak happen to be in the same school."

The Indian guy projected a piece of information onto the big screen.

"OK, send me her home address. It's almost 8 o'clock. I hope we can get there before she goes out to school." After Jack said that, he and Hannah hurriedly left the big office.

Twenty minutes later, the Dodge Hellcat parked on the side of the road in an ordinary neighborhood. Hannah, who was in the passenger seat, checked the house number and nodded, "This is it, the house with the red door."

Jack followed her gaze and saw that the door just opened, and a middle-aged white man was preparing to go out carrying large and small bags.

"Single-parent family, busy working father, adolescent daughter, alas, the profile is very similar to Caroline's."

Hannah opened the car door, walked quickly across the street, and stopped the middle-aged man.

"Police? I'm sorry. I'd love to help, but now isn't the time. I have a morning meeting and Tara has to go to school. I can't be late."

The middle-aged man lowered his head, as if he didn't want to pay attention to them.

"Strictly speaking, it's the FBI. Mr. Shagas, my suggestion is that you should call your company now to ask for leave. By the way, call Tara's teacher and help her ask for leave as well."

Jack directly showed his ID, "It's better for us to go inside and talk. The matter is very serious. As a minor, Tara needs to be accompanied by a guardian to talk to us. The neighbors should have gone out soon. People here What do you think?"

At this time, a chubby white girl with curly hair walked out of the house. Seeing her father chatting with two strangers through the iron gate in the front yard, she came over hesitantly.

"Tara Shagas? You are a friend of Caroline Zapatak, right?" Hannah took half a step forward and said to her.

"Yes, I know her." Tara seemed to have a premonition that something was wrong, her eyes wandered.

"Did you know that Caroline was murdered yesterday?" While asking, Jack stared at the other person without blinking, observing her expression carefully.

"No! How is this possible?!" Tara subconsciously took half a step back, her voice involuntarily becoming a bit shrill and harsh.

He likes to deal with "stupid" young criminals the most. Any problems are clearly written on his face. Jack looked at the girl's father and tilted his head slightly, "So, are you really not going to invite us into the house?"
